Women and men in Australia’s workforce are concentrated in different industries, with most industries being dominated by male employees.

Only seven out of 19 industries have at least 40% women and men.

Women are most concentrated in Health Care and Social Assistance (80.2% female) and Education and Training (63.4% female)

Many industries are developing policies and strategies to encourage women and men to enter non-traditional roles. The Agency developed a series called women’s work | men’s work, which focuses on a number of employees fighting stereotypes about the types of work women and men ‘should’ be doing.
